looks like a good potential Bard to me. I can't really picture him as Beorn as some people are suggesting – Beorn should be bigger and bulkier, like Ron Perlman or Brian Blessed. I suppose Persbrandt would make an acceptable Thranduil, but he really seems more like a Man to me. Laketown is located in the northern regions of Middle-earth, so I can sort of see why they would decribe the character as 'Nordic'. As for Cate Blanchett, I don't think this newspaper would be given that kind of brand-new casting information and then casually toss it into the discussion like that. I think they only mentioned Blanchett because they thought she was more well-known by their Swedish readers... notice that they only mention her in the context of Persbrandt. It's 'Persbrandt is going to meet Cate Blanchett', not 'We are proud to exclusively announce that Cate Blanchett will be in The Hobbit'. It's almost as if they're taking her participation for granted, rather than stating it as a piece of news. I'd take it with a grain of salt. Here is the image which convinced me that Persbrandt would be a good fit for Bard.
